"Aren't we already, technically, out of the factory?" Roxie ventured self conciously.
SB nodded in agreement, "We did just fall down an awfully big hole."
"So that would place us under the factory, in the underworld and the undead are where they belong!" Artisan finished.
Willy looked between them skeptically, then up at Jack and the rest of the slightly green looking Angels. "But now my river is done here and not up there."
"I, heh, suppose that's a problem huh?" drouxl muttered, peering up at the hole they created.
"That's a big problem, that's a ginormously huge problem!" Obs said before Willy could.
"I'd say someone should go back up there and think up a reaaaaaaaaaaly long tube to start up a vacum," JCD stated. At the incredulous looks, she quickly added, "What? It's how people stole gasoline out of others gastanks back in the seventies. They stuck a tube in the other person's gastank and started to suck on the other end till the gas started flowing through it. Sure they probably got a mouth full of gas but it should work in this senario."
"That's crazy," SB said, a slow smile creeping over her features, "But just crazy enough to work. Now who's willing to go back up and start this?"
"I will," Willy said sounding very resigned to the fact. "It is after all my river." Everyone nodded. It was a logical point after all. "How am I to get back up there though?"
"Mary Poppins umbrella," drouxl suggested half seriously, producing one black umbrella, then handed it to him.
"Mary who?" Willy asked, turning the pointy black umbrella over in his hands.
"Poppins, Mary Poppins, she's a children's book character," Artisan said distractedly, "I sense a flaw in this plan."
"What?" Roxie asked in suprise.
"There's no way to stop that pipe from sucking the undead back up it."

"Spaghettie strainer" Obs says out of nowhere.
"What?" SB asks.
"Haven't you ever made pasta? You use a strainer to get the water out of the noodles. Its really easy."
They all nod their heads. "That makes sence" Roxie says "But how do we make one?"
"I think EVERYONE keeps forgetting that they have an imagination." JCD says.

"Imagination," drouxl mimed a rainbow a la spongebob squarepants and watched happily as one appeared in front of her. Seeing the weirded out gazes she shrugged, "What?"
"That was so completely off topic it's unbelievable," SB muttered, trying hard not to laugh.
"It was appropriate," drouxl whined petulantly.
"Sure it was," Roxie said, imagining up one spagetti strainer. "Ta da!"
"Well, now all we have to do is wait for Willy to reach the top of the hole." Obs said.
Artisan looked pensive, "How will we know when he makes it?"
"He could drop the umbrella back down the hole," Victor said unassumingly, breaking his 15 minute long silence.

"Isn't that a bit small?" Obs observed.
They all glanced at the regular sized strainer in Roxie's hand. She shrugged. "It's a strainer." She mumbled.
"I know what we need." SB announced. She promplty squeezed her eyes shut and made a grunting noise.
"Didn't know imagining was so hard." JCD mused.
"Sh!" SB cried, and pointed up the hole. "There's a net now. So that when the chocolate goes up no bodies go with it!" She smiled proudly.
There was a shriek from up above that sounded uncannily like Willy.
"Uh...heh...whoops?" SB smiled sheepisly.
"Yeah no bodies including Willy." drouxl shot her a look.
SB shrugged. "Hey...it's a team work deal here..."
"Does someone want to imagine this net gone?" Willy cried from far above.

"I'll do it," Roxie called up the hole, squeezing her eyes shut before opening them.
They heard Willy grunt as they assumed her landed back in his factory. To reiterate this the umbrella came hurtling back down the hole like a missle. The group scrambled out of its way as it careened into the river. No one noticed SB closing her yes for a brief moment or the sound of shock as the net remade itself.
"Well, that was exciting," drouxl said, gazing at the twisted remains of the umbrella.
"Now who's up for imagining the tube-y thing?" Obs asked.

"The tub-y thing?" JCD looked confused. "I think you need to think about imagining something to plug up the hole once the chocolate river is back where it's supposed to be..." Victor ventured. "Oh! Oh! I know!" Cried Roxie. Everyone turned to her expectantly. She grinned. "A cork!" SB blinke. "You mean like a cork for a bottle of wine?" She looked at Roxie incredulously. "Sure why not? It would work." Roxie looked amongst the other kicks. drouxl shrugged. "I suppose it would..." "When's he supposed to be starting that-" Obs was cut off as a loud sucking noise sounded. DL grabbed hold of her angora as the river slowly began to be sucked upwards. ((OOC: Sorry we forgot about you! )) "What about the boats?" Artisan shouted over the din. Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at each other. "Jump!" They all cried in unison as the boat began to rise.

As they all landed on solid ground they began to realize how terribly bad their planning skills were.
"Next," gasp, "time," gasp, splutter, cough, "we're going to think this through," croaked DL as she rolled onto her back to watch the slowly rising chocolate river.
"I concur," drouxl gasped, pulling herself onto dry land, before turning around and helping Roxie out.
"Did the angels make it out ok," SB asked, giving Artisan a boost up.
Suddenly everyone was really quiet. The silence was thick as the kicks stared at one another.
"They did make it off the Pearl, didn't they?" JCD looked around nervously. "Didn't they?!"

"Down here!" Psnoo waved her arms about. Roxie squitned. "I think...I think I see Jack's hat!" SB gaped at the hole where the chocolate river was disappearing through. She sniffed once before imagining a giant cork just as the last drop of chocoalte was slurped up as if through a straw. "Can we go visit the factory again?" She looked around at the other kicks. "No!" They all said at once. SB cowered. "Sowwiez." "Why don't we head over to the angels?" drouxl pointed, and proceeded to lead the way. They trudged slowly back towards the others. Once they were all there, they looked around dumbfounded. "What now?" JCD asked, looping her arm through Victor's stringbean one. "Does this mean the adventure is over?" Lynx asked. "All the dead peoples are down here." DL pointed out. "What more is there to do?" "Did we ever figure out why they were after the chocolate?" DB asked. SB shrugged. "Why not? It's good stuff ya know." Everyone groaned. ((OOC: Ok...yeah...I'm stuck. Don't know where else to take this really...Sorry! ))

DB shook her head with a grin on her face. "Mostly we just like to end our adventures with a party. But I ain't touching that chocolate until it's been given the A-OK by the Wonka himself. How 'bout we just much the grass? I've always wanted to try a blade." ;D

"It does look delicious," agreed Lynx . "Great job 'kicks! What a fun adventure!" Lynx hugged each of them in turn then turned back to Willy's beautiful creations. "Let's eat!"

OOC: what happened to the Oopma-Loompas? Are we sure none of them got sucked down the drain with the zombies?

"Hey, since this was an angel adventure for the land of the dead, why don't we head down there and get a party started!??" HF exclaimed.
Everyone looked at her like she was crazy.
"Whhhatt? Is hell really THAT bad?" she wondered aloud. "I'd like to think so, yes," SB said, staring longinly at the chocolate that was being tested by Willy. "We've gotta end this adventure with a big bang! right? Staying up here would remind me too much of a Willy wonka adventure, LET'S GO GEORGE!" HF said, pulling George out of the factory. "Where does she think she's going???" Victor asked, following after the crazed angel and her poor Johnny.
